Can I get traffic data from Google Maps API?

Google Maps facilitates APIs to provide access to this data with a paid subscription. Google Maps also make this traffic data publicly available through their web interface, but with limited features and requires further pre-processing.

Is Google route API free?

You won’t be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).

What is road API?

The Roads API identifies the roads a vehicle was traveling along and provides additional metadata about those roads, such as speed limits. Before you start developing with the Roads API, review the authentication requirements (you need an API key) and the API usage and billing information.

Is there any free API for Maps?

Openstreetmap API is an open-source initiative that generates world map data and makes them available for free. This means you don’t have to pay anything to request data from its database. In fact, you’ll even have access to the entire database of Openstreetmap, which isn’t so in paid APIs.

Where can I get road data?

Lucky for you, here are some of the best places to look for road and network datasets.

  • OpenStreetMap Network Dataset (Free) OpenStreetMap has some of the most detailed information on our planet because it’s always updated by people like you and me.
  • US Census – TIGER Data (Free)
  • ArcGIS Streetmap Premium (Paid)

 

How do I get xy data from Google Maps?

Get the coordinates of a place

  1. On your computer, open Google Maps.
  2. Right-click the place or area on the map. This will open a pop-up window. You can find your latitude and longitude in decimal format at the top.
  3. To copy the coordinates automatically, left click on the latitude and longitude.

How do I get Google traffic data?

Start by launching Google Maps on your phone. To the right of the current map, tap the “Layers” icon (a square over another square). You’ll see a menu pop up from the bottom of your phone’s screen. To enable live traffic data on your map, then from this menu, select “Traffic.”
 



Can I get historical traffic data from Google Maps?

There is no way (or at least no reasonably easy and convenient way) to get the raw traffic data from Google Maps Javascript API v3. Even if you could do it, doing so is likely to violate some clause in the Terms Of Service for Google Maps. You would have to get this information from another service.
